I will certainly keep you updated...after all I'm going to have a new 'man' of the house to name.<BR/><BR/><B>Stacy,</B><BR/>Thanks for your concern. I had to replace both my printers earlier this year, so they will be fine. As for my scanner..it kicked the bucket sometime ago.<BR/><BR/><B>Janell,</B><BR/>I understand what you are saying. PC and Mac lovers are akin to a cult...each is absolutely sold on what they have. I chose to again go with a PC because this is what I'm familiar with. <BR/><BR/>Actually the only problem 'Henry' has is that he's old and I'm working him too hard.<BR/><BR/>In fact 'Henry' is going to retire at my daughter's home. She and my grandson promised to treat him gently during these last years of his life.<BR/><BR/><B>Paul,</B><BR/>I appreciate your concern for 'Henry'. He was sent in for a cleaning earlier this week and prior to this I had done most of the other things you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>'Henry' just can't keep up with the pace of my work load anymore.Marsha Robinetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955149356250296578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659624246157087782.post-45639509469987084592008-12-08T17:34:00.000-06:002008-12-08T17:34:00.000-06:00Does Henry just need cleaned out?

Chances are if you backup your stuff on disc (pictures, videos, music), delete it all and then do some basic maintainance (clean out cache, defrag, spyware scan, etc., etc.), Henry will work just fine. Per Stacy's comment, she's right in that many old peripherals won't work with Vista because drivers simply weren't written in with the new operating system. I'm an HP loyalist and all of my older equipment fortunately has worked just fine. PM me if you need any help.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201710617344648228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659624246157087782.post-4316179120102708092008-12-08T16:25:00.000-06:002008-12-08T16:25:00.000-06:00I know there are PC people and Mac people.

I have a scanner that is probably 5 years old and we couldn't get it to run on Vista no matter how hard we tried. As a result I scan from my laptop (which runs XP), copy the file to a stick, carry the stick to my desktop and do my photo manipulations there. It's a bit of a pain, but saved me from replacing a perfectly good scanner.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494806312648513169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659624246157087782.post-5497582704558641822008-12-08T13:15:00.000-06:002008-12-08T13:15:00.000-06:00Oh boy Marsha I think we have all been there at on...Oh boy Marsha I think we have all been there at one time or another.
